This story, v. ar- t.iid. i> a par-, abie (v. 7). that is to say, we are tJ iniVr from it the sjrt of corwiuct ri-, quired of the children of God's king- , dcm; it is also an illus:rati.*n jl Chr'stian c. r.duet. The point or! meaning ot' the parable is given in 1 v. 11. "whoever t-xalts himself shall ( L humbled, and the man win> h iiiib'.es himself shall be exalted." This prin- ciple seems often to have been on the ( lips of Jesus, or it is three times, quoted in I.ukeS Gospel. It might, be a mere principle 01 worldly wi.idom.: for it is a fact, often illustrated in evft-y-day life, that the man who give?' himself airs jets "put in his place." > but that is not the meaning of Jesi's. We are to uiuirAtand. rather, that to be great on earth is not at all t!i- no thing as to lit? great in the king-! d.'iu oi' t'.od: that many who are rirstj here sh..!l be last there. In the king- dom, ni'eatness i< marked by service, not by power or wealth. It is ni.t only in ancient Palestine that there have been bitter disput.-s, as to precedence, as to who should be ; riven the seat on the hostess':* right! hand, who should be given the front, ..eats on the platform. The Christian! is not to push himself. Jesus Christ, j thouuh he was the Son ,M' ll-xl. "coi-j descended to men of low estate"; the Christian must follow Jesus in this; 1 is not to be "a climber." Worldly ambition, we may say. always soars up to be served: Christian ambition always descends to .rve. The gen- eral 'advice about suitable conduct at dinners had been given by JewUn rabbis lefore Jesu-c. but \\e made his common-sense advice a parable of th-3 kingdom. II. "N TRIE HOSPITALITY. 14: 1J-U. We are not to understand by this that Jeus tells Christians they are to giv no parties to their friends, but a man is not to fancy himself a.ij being hospitable and a good fellow be-| cause he often entertains his f riend" j ar,d tho.s< whom he likes. There is i nothing meritorious about that. The distinctive element in the Christian character is that it ha< a love which breaks through the narrow restric- 'ons of class and -f the group of people we happen to like, and em- braces th* whole world. Including our "enemies." The hope of reward is not to j the Christuui motive. The Christian must d good to others because, he loves them, not ix>cHUse lie will be reward- ed for it. but he will be rewarded. His reward will com* "in the resur- rection of the just." that is to say. in heaven. Jesus did not denounce wealth. bu r he warned men of its gave he the grave daniieis and told them tw spend hlr money, as here, to spread han- iiir.e*s and good fellowship for their less ii>rtunate neighbors. He himself illustrates his own command in that r-* madj h.s u:tT,<:s cn<!ii{ the humbl; of the earth and gave of his time and strength to alleviate the dUires.-es of the sick and those in trcjuble. At his table in the ear.y Church were gath- ered Jews and Gentiles, masters ar.ii slaves, rich and poor, and the com- mur.ion service '.s the image and fore- i;:>;e of the hei'.venly banquet in the kinsrtiom of Uod. 111. JESfS RECKIVE8 THK l'H!I.|iRV.X, 18: 15-17.
